Ellingham is a village in Northumberland, just east of the Great North Road, the A1, north of Alnwick.
The parish church is the Church of St Maurice, a Victorian church but standing on an older site, where a church was recorded in 1150. The present parish church was built in 1862, replacing one of 1805 which had collapsed completely. St Maurice is in the ‘Early English’ style and contains some remnants of earlier churches – a mediæval piscine in the south wall of the sanctuary, a lancet window in the east wall of the south transept and a font bowl a the front of the nave.
The village has a Church of England school, Ellingham First School.[1]
